PAN spotted some fast work here by Click News and Media photographer ‘Ashthepap‘ who composed this full length shot of Victoria Beckham attending the Holly Ramsay/Adam Petty wedding on the 28 December in Bath, UK.
It’s close-up and Victoria is looking straight ‘down the barrel’ …the flash pop caught in the sunglasses and the hair mid-wave – smashing!
Ash told PAN: “This image was about timing rather than control. Everything aligned for a split second — light, movement, expression — and the job was simply to recognise it and not get in the way. The strongest photographs often happen when you let the moment lead.”
Camera Specs for the shot:
Body: Canon R1
Lens: Cannon 17-40mm, shot at 20mm
Flash: Cannon E-L5 Speedlight
Settings: 1/200 f8 – ISO 640
Click News photo coverage from the day were used across National and International press.
